Raul Esparza. The Normal Heart. The end.
Okay, I lied... that's not the end. I'm going to try to keep this post semi-short, but I do need to justify that. Like I said in my original post about The Normal Heart, I'm pretty young, but for my age I've seen a lot. The Normal Heart was the first time I'd ever seen Raul perform, but it didn't take very long for me to decide that he was THE most talented actor I have ever had the privilege of seeing. Everything about his performance, IMO, was absolute perfection. His timing was flawless. His expressions were flawless. I LOVED that he gave Ned a sort of sweet, cuddly side, but at the same time he was able to portray the fighter that Ned is. It was obvious that he poured everything he had into that performance. I heart him, and now I'm done.
A work of art is an invitation to love.

Frank Wood in SIDE MAN. He was simply devistating in that show and rightfully won himself a Tony for it.

Side Man didn't really do well in London- mind you, they gave us Jason Priestley.

I know, I'm too predictable. But, I think you do have to give me props for NOT ONCE mentioning how sexy I think he is. That post was purely based on talent, so I did well!

Michele Pawk, Hollywood Arms. The definition of devastating.
Woohoo for the nod to Frank Wood, didn't see Side Man but a nicer, more down to earth man you could not meet.
